Security & privacy
A bank statement is the most sensitive document your customer will ever send you. Here is exactly what happens to it. Specifics, not badges.
Encryption
- TLS on every connection — web app and API. HSTS enabled; no plaintext fallback.
- Password-protected PDFs are unlocked in memory only — the password is never written to disk, logs, or the database.
- Your statement file is processed in memory. It is never written to disk.
Retention & deletion
- Statement files are not kept after the analysis finishes.
- The extracted result is saved for 24 hours, then deleted automatically. Delete it sooner from your dashboard.
- To delete your account and history, email support@bankstatementanalyser.com.
- We don't train models on your data or sell it, and our AI provider's terms exclude training on it.
Data handling
- Files are processed on our own servers. No advertising trackers on this site.
- AI is used only where it helps: reading a table our rules can't find, double-checking scanned rows and rows that don't reconcile, labelling hard-to-place transactions, a short memo, and open chat questions. Only the extracted text that step needs is sent — never the PDF itself.
- AI never overrides the math: any row it reads or corrects must still reconcile, or the file fails with an error.
- Totals, reconciliation, income, loan repayments and the fraud score are computed in our code, not by AI.
- We store your email and a salted, hashed password — never the password itself.
- Each saved result is tied to one account. No one else can open it.
- Hosting, AI, email and payment providers receive only what their job needs.
What we don't claim
- We're not a credit bureau and don't make lending decisions — you do, using these signals plus your own policy.
- We don't display certifications we haven't earned. No SOC 2 badge, no ISO logo.
- We don't offer an API or webhooks, and we keep no analysis history beyond the 24 hours described here.
- Read the output before you rely on it. Most anomalies have a perfectly ordinary explanation.
